[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Just checking in to clear up a couple things.
1.  My mom had an idea the family was religious, but definitely did not know the extent.  But to be quite honest I don't think she would have cared. She often put me in uncomfortable situations so yeah I don't think this would have been an issue for her anyway.  It was an issue for me and I was upset that I was given any other choice (like to sit out the service or bible study since I was uncomfortable).  I think its a little weird not to even ask if a 14-15 year old is ok attending service with you.
2.  I was respectful the whole time to this family.
And I am certainly not bashing Christians.  My point was for people to share the own experiences with whatever religion that happened to be.

OP it's weird that you think a family who had been left responsible
For your care would just leave you alone at their home while they went about their routine , which happened to involve church. You really want to make the host family wrong here, but they weren't.[/quote]

Not OP, but I think it's weird that [i]you[/i] think there's no alternative between "abandoning kid at home" and "forcing kid to sit through a religious service." Churches presumably have lobbies and waiting rooms, where a non-Christian kid being hosted by a Christian family can quietly sit with a book.

The defensiveness of Christians in this thread is really interesting.[/quote]
I'm not a Christian, I just think the OP is being extremely unreasonable.[/quote]
